Me and a buddy went out around 6:45 AM this morning as a two-ball walking. $28 city resident rate.

WOW! That's all I can say after playing Muni for the first time in about a decade (?). Wednesday seems to be one of the "mow" days as we were more or less behind the guys tending the greens, fairways, and tees (most we were there before they had a chance to put the markers back. We just played at the marker). Whoever the Super is here deserves a raise. No joke. Fairways were exceptional. Like high end country club for the most part. There's a few patches of weird stuff but mostly it was off the charts. The crazy thing is once you get off the fairway, literally BY INCHES, it was about 57 different kinds of grass and weeds and stuff. Kind of crazy but in a weird way, pretty cool.

The greens were AMAZING. It was a misty-ish morning so there's some moisture there, but I'd say they were running about 10.5 and PURE. Held perfectly. Probably the best greens I've played this summer.

Tee boxes were completely fine. There's a short downhill par 3 on the back where it's a bit chewed, but that's it. Otherwise, level and great.

I was in 5 bunkers and I loved them. Good soft sand on top but a bit firm below. Best thing to play out of. Had to place out of one foot print but that's the world we live in.

This is a pretty fun layout. Tons of doglegs, some long par 4s on the back with some teeth, lots of big mature trees and this overwhelming sense that you should have scored better but for some reason didn't. Kind of like that.

If there's one thing I would say as a negative is that early in the morning, before the marine layer burns off and there's any breeze, there's a lot of stagnant water on the course in creeks and stuff and that kind of freaks me out a bit (couple funky smells too). But I'm splitting hairs here.

All in all, Oceanside is pretty much killing it with golf right now. This place is in such great shape and the layout is fun, challenging but a great spot for all handicappers. If you go out and play here right now it's going to be well worth your money.

I have not driven from OC to play Oceaside GC since the turf reduction project was completed several years ago. I was not sure how I would like the turf reduction but i liked it. Most of the turf reduction areas are hard dirt and very playable. I teed off as a single at 7:20. Finished in just over 3 hours taking my time and enjoying the morning.

The course overall was in good condition. The greens rolled fairly smooth with medium/fast speed and held shots. The fairways were in good condition. No signs of the fairway aeration of a week ago. There were a few brown/thin spots but I had good lies all round. The rough was good with a playable height. The bunkers were a bit damp but I was able to play from the three I was in. The tee boxes were fair to good mostly due to mild unlevelness.

Played on Tuesday, 6/2.
I agree with weber review from 5/28. Only thing I would like to add is that the fairways have been punched and they have "dragged" the fairway with a wire mesh to break up the plugs so it will be a couple of week before they are "healed" but still very playable. Just got to play winter rules. Recommend.

Back out to Oceanside with a first off tee time. One of the reasons I play here as frequently as I do is because of Sam in the pro shop. He is just the best. Even called me at home to advise me that they no longer required temperature check prior to play.

Not a lot has changed since I played here a couple weeks ago. Greens roll well, reasonably quick. Most fairways are fairly lush, but with some bare areas and thin spots. Rough is inconsistent, and beyond the rough is "gone". The bunkers were well maintained, but some over watered and soaked.

I find this to be an enjoyable track to play. The holes are not redundant, and provide enough of a challenge to keep your interest without being overly penal. Not a big fan of holes #15 & #16, which are just long, without much character. Otherwise the majority of the holes are a nice mix, and none run parallel to one another.

First out at 6am. Covid-19 restrictions as expected. First course to actually take temperatures. Sam in the pro shop is great. Friendly, accommodating, wish that all golf course personal were like him.

Course is in very nice condition. Greens rolled well, decent speed. most fairways lush and well manicured. Bunkers raked with enough sand. Tee boxes OK. Some issues with the rough, but not too bad.

Nice to see they are not price gouging like some other courses. I have a long memory about those kinds of things. Nice to have Oceanside open again.

Played on Tuesday 5/5 on a beautiful sunny day. My first round since they reopened.
Lots of social distancing rules:
-credit card only
-temperature taken before going in Pro shop
-do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your tee time
-carts available if you have a handicap placard, otherwise walking only
-driving range open, OK to arrive 30 minutes before your tee time
-snack bar is open

Greens-excellent condition, smooth and medium speed

Fairways-the best I've ever seen them

Traps-played as GUR

Rough-very lush 1-3" high with some bare spots and of course you then have the DG.

Tees-many are uneven due to animal burrows

POP: 4 hours

The Muni is in the best condition (tee thru fairway to green) I've ever seen, get out and give it a try!

With all the recent rains, I checked with Oceanside and they said the course was fine. More water in the adjacent areas than even just week ago, but the fairways had no casual water at all. A number of the bunkers were still flooded however. I had about half the greens mowed. Those that were cut rolled fine and reasonably quick, the uncut greens, not so much. Because they have not been able to mow a great deal, there were a number of areas in the rough which were really thick/juicy. (Found a number of balls in there) They were cutting the fairways as we played, so things should be much better shortly. Very Green ! The staff here is as friendly as can be. Super accommodating. I was advised that the restaurant can not be opened right now because it also has a bar, and bars are currently prohibited from opening because of the Corona virus. As expected, not very crowded. A few groups, but that's all I saw.

Taking advantage of a "window" between the storms, back to Oceanside. As prior review states, numerous areas of casual water, but truthfully it rarely interfered with the playability of the course. Greens definitely the best part of the course, rolled true and were actually fairly quick at times. Fairways had more coverage than expected. Bunkers were fine, with manicured sand.

Staff is always great here, very accommodating. Always enjoy this course, several fun holes, scoreable, but still enough challenge to keep your interest.

Played on (3/11) between the rain storms on a sunny day. Greens: good condition; smooth, soft with medium + speed. Best part of the course. Fairways: very playable but excessive unfilled divots on a few holes. Rough: 2-3" inches but the DG comes into play if you stray to far from the rough. Traps: playable. POP: just over 4 hours. Good grass practice range and two putting greens. Because of the recent rains there are many casual water areas but most are not in play. The most I've ever seen. The ducks are sure enjoying the temporary ponds.
